About
Literacy intervention in speech therapy bridges the gap between language and literacy, helping children develop the skills they need for successful reading, writing, and storytelling. Many children with speech and language challenges also experience difficulties with literacy. Our evidence-based, individualized approach supports their growth in decoding, comprehension, and written expression.
In literacy intervention, we incorporate:
Reading Skills: Using research-backed programs like Lindamood-Bell’s Seeing Stars® to strengthen phonemic awareness, word attack skills, and sight word recognition. This program helps children connect sounds to letters, promoting fluent and accurate reading.
Comprehension Strategies: Employing Nancibell’s Visualizing and Verbalizing® program to enhance reading comprehension by teaching children to create mental imagery for language. This approach builds the ability to understand, remember, and apply what they read.
Writing Development: Guiding children through the process of planning, organizing, and producing written work. We focus on sentence structure, grammar, spelling, and generating ideas, supporting a wide range of writing tasks.
Storytelling Skills: Helping children structure and share narratives by building skills in sequencing, vocabulary, and coherence. Storytelling fosters expressive language and builds a foundation for both academic and social success.
Through play-based and engaging methods, we create a supportive environment where children can strengthen their literacy skills at their own pace. We also collaborate with families and educators to extend learning beyond therapy sessions, ensuring progress is meaningful and functional.
